By providing access to health facilities for Kesho Leo orphans, fws will help to prevent illness and death from Tanzania’s primary health concerns (malaria, typhoid, tuberculosis and HIV-AIDS), as well as other local health issues. All Kesho Leo orphans – and in particular, those who are HIV positive – will have access to the fws on-staff nurse and a nearby hospital.

Kesho kids will also learn, via a series of after-school and weekend programs, about how to live healthily and care for those suffering from illness. fws aims to encourage a generation of healthy kids to be informed about the health issues that affect them and their country and to be compassionate towards fellow sufferers.
